There already is a national gun registry. It’s called the NRA membership list.

While our list of fascists and communists is comprised from the Democrat voter rolls, union membership, college faculty lists, and media bylines.

True enough.

Doesn’t mean the government wouldn’t try to take them, though. I hope they’d torch them before they’d let them be taken.

Do all members of the NRA have Guns?

If gun ownership is a requirement, should the gun-less members worry that an NRA agent will break down the door at midnight and force a firearm on them?

[buffaloguy]

“Do all members of the NRA have Guns?”

Not at all. I know several people who have been members for quite a long time but have never owned a gun.

[Hardastarboard]

I’ve thought that since Clinton was in office.

[Chuckster]

Exactly. Most leftists fancy themselves part of the ruling elite and expect to be exempt from the laws they pass to control the rabble.

I’ve been a member of the NRA and I don’t own a gun. I have the membership sticker posted on the window by my front door.

[Billthedrill]

There are an estimated 100 million gun owners in the United States. There are 4.5 million NRA members. John Aravosis is a cliche-spouting idiot.

In my part of the world we have a fairly reliable gun registry. It's called the phone book.

membership lists are protected from the days when the klan would want them to kill people.

“If the NRA and its paranoid membership”

AND... there’s no need to read any further.

[BobL]

He’s trolling with that piece. For some reason, I doubt that the NRA will hand over ANYTHING to the feds.

[stevio]

I know of 2 people who don’t own guns but belong to the NRA. There are people who understand that all our freedoms need protecting.

[clearcarbon]

"The NRA is NOT at all a partisan group. There are a number of dems that the NRA supports, simply due to the fact that there is only ONE thing they deal with... Gun rights. If a dem supports gun rights, the NRA will support them."

...as they once did for harry reid (demonstrating occasional NRA bad judgement).

[uncommonsense]

This guy is a moron on many levels - calls NRA members paranoid, then says:

"New York Governor Andrew Cuomo -– a man who gives you a pretty good idea of where gun control is going -– said, on the front page of the New York Times, that “confiscation” of firearms is an option."

[mylife]

Andrew Coumo is the worst kind.
Can you imagine it? Him in charge of the 2nd and Sandra lee is the flotus?
BTW Andy, Why do you “need” those 500 HP cars?

God Bless all fair minded FReepers.

Carry on.
